2Qute also provides levels of 0.0003% to redefine amazingly low distortion. The Qutest supports audio at up to 32 bit / 384 kHz via coax and USB and 24 bit / 192 kHz via optical signal. DSD64 is supported on all inputs and DSD128 is supported via coax or USB (all via DoP).
The new DAC also features a convenient switch for easy switching between coaxial, optical and digital USB inputs. The device has a Class 2 USB input, which has been galvanically isolated for better sound performance due to the orientation of the QUTEST home system compared to Hugo's more mobile targets. This has been achieved with a new type of technology that enables very high data rates of up to 384 kHz.
The input is done on Apple and Android devices without drivers, with ASIO drivers for Windows devices.
